After I Broke Off the Engagement, My Ex-Fiancé Regretted It Too Late

When Han Zheng turned fifteen, she came to the capital alone, carrying a token, intending to marry her betrothed.

She had only heard about him from her family. After arriving in the capital, she saw how handsome he was and how brilliantly he solved cases, and she became even more determined to spend her life with him.

At first, her betrothed treated her wonderfully, and she grew more and more devoted to him as she waited for their wedding.

Then a frail, pitiful, delicate cousin came to live at the estate.

The cousin took her bracelet. Her betrothed knew it belonged to Han Zheng, yet still demanded that she give way.

When the cousin had an attack, Han Zheng tried to save her, but her betrothed shoved her to the ground.

When the cousin fell into the water, her betrothed scolded Han Zheng, accusing her of deliberately refusing to help out of jealousy...

Han Zheng always thought he was simply a man who valued loyalty, and that he treated his cousin so well because she had once saved his life. So she kept giving in, again and again.

Only when Han Zheng and the cousin disappeared together did she finally wake up. Her betrothed went to save the cousin first, then, facing Han Zheng, covered in wounds, demanded a bowl of blood from her heart to save the cousin. At last, Han Zheng saw the truth and gave up on him completely.

She tore up the marriage contract left by her parents and elders and moved out of the Duke of Wei's residence. From then on, her heart was still as dead water, without the slightest affection left.

The year Wei Yingchuang turned twenty, he met the two most important women in his life.

One had the power of prophecy. She told him that he would rise to the highest ranks of government and wield immense power, but that Han Zheng would kill him.

The other was Han Zheng. Carrying their betrothal token, she came to him.

He believed the first woman and did everything he could to force Han Zheng to break off the engagement.

When he succeeded, he felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.

But he never expected that he would soon regret it, and that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

From then on, Wei Yingchuang risked his life and did everything he could for Han Zheng, but he never again received the wholehearted, adoring gaze she had once given him.

Han Zheng: If you have no love for me, then I will let you go.

Wei Yingchuang: Longing brings no joy. I regret having wronged you back then.

Theme: Love is precious, but life is worth even more.
